Informational Meeting
November 30, 2009 @ 7PM
Greenwich Free Library Community Room

The Greater Greenwich Chamber of Commerce, Inc. has been awarded a 2009 New York Main Street Grant. This grant will provide 25/75 matching funds to qualifying properties in the targeted downtown area. Funds may be used for facade renovation and second-story residential renovations. There will be a component for streetscape enhancements. The average project will be able to receive $7000 for qualifying revitalization efforts. The project expenses are to be incurred by the property owner and will then be reimbursed from NYS through the program upon inspection of compliance. 

A public information meeting for the program will be held on Monday, November 30, 2009 at 7PM at the Greenwich Free Library on Main Street. It is highly recommended that interested parties attend meetings, but it is not mandatory. An overview of the program, the guidelines, the target area, the qualifying activities and the process needed to be followed as mandated by NYS will be presented by the representatives of Marvin & Company Community Revitalization, the consulting firm working with the GGCC. 

 Applications for the program will be available at the meeting. A $100 application fee per project is required with the completed application and will be refunded if the project is not chosen for funding.
